Moses By Thermuthis Research Paper

He is the man who was sent down a river in a basket to escape being killed. He led the Israelites in their Exodus to the promise land. He received the 10 Commandments from God. His name is Moses. He was born in Egypt in 1392 B.C. to Jochebed and Amram. His older siblings were Aaron and Miriam.
